Swivel extruder mount on frame
Description
Final result on my Insta, I document my prints and experiments there: [instapost](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ci9R82ehOjM/) I designed this extruder mount because i was having a hard time in changing filament manually. The original position on the gantry was causing the filament to grind against the z-axis rod and rubbed grease on it. Hence I decided to mount the extruder on the top instead for easy access, the swivel was unplanned but appreciated for filament to flow better from the dry box. The tray is for when there is some grinding happening on the gears or filament, so it catches the dust and not allow it to fall onto the bed. So I got a comment on the post and decided to share the part with everyone. Required non-printable parts: [Nema-17 mounting bracket](https://www.amazon.sg/NEMA17-Stepper-Mounting-Bracket-L-shape/dp/B07H8YQYGV), the slot holes are 3cm apart and the part is designed as such 608 ball bearing or R118 ball bearing from a fidget spinner 2x M5x8mm screws (I got them from the printer) 2x M5 T-Slot locking nuts (I got them from the printer) 4x M4x6mm screws (I got them from the printer) No screw tapping required (increase hole diameter on your own if needed)
